We really loved our trip to China thanks to China Discovery!! Thank you so much for organising everything so professionally and to create an itinerary according to our requests and preferences.

The choice of hotels was great, all of them were indeed in a perfect location and with very high standards. We particularly loved the Mountain retreat in Yangshuo (we had an amazing view from our room, and delicious home cooked breakfast of our choice, served in the beautiful garden. Also, they gave us a small gift when we left), and the hotels in Xi’an and Shanghai (in the last one, staff were able to speak very good English, too).

The sites we visited were all very interesting as well as the recommended shows that we saw in Beijing and Yangshuo, as per our guides’ recommendation. The one in Yangshuo was really amazing! We were very impressed by the Great Chinese Wall and the Terracotta Army. We loved the cruise from Gulin to Yangshuo. Also, the restaurants where we had our lunches were all good and especially some of them offered a very good choice of traditional food which were recommended by our guides.

A very big thank you for providing such professional and expert guides, we were very happy with all of them! Each of them had a different way to approach us as customers and showing us around, but they are all very very good! We were also impressed with their language skills as they all spoke very good English so it was very easy for us to communicate with them and listen to all the information they provided us about the places we visited. They were all kind and helpful, accommodated all our requests and really went the extra mile to make our experience in China a memorable one!

No complaints also on the drivers, they were good and always on time, always provided us with bottles of water and once we even had a bottle of cold jasmine tea in Shanghai! As you know, there was a little issue with the driver who had to pick us up in Hangzhou, but this can happen and no big deal. Once again, we really appreciated the dinner you offered as a compensation, it was a very nice gesture and the dinner was very good!

    Rachel Grant’s Panda Volunteer Experience in Dujiangyan

    The distinctive black and white animal is a national treasure in China and one of the rarest, most endangered bears in the world. A one-on-one encounter with a giant panda is a bucket list highlight and a must-do when you are in China. The time I spent witnessing such human dedication is truly eye-opening...
